Themes: Standing up for beliefs despite the risks, racism, finding one’s voice

>> This is a great short story of a young Filipino woman standing up and speaking her truth, despite the trouble it may bring.

Interestingly, the story can also be used as a last chapter of Melissa de la Cruz's novel Something in Between.

<> All resources are designed for struggling learners. Perfect modified or alternative resource for special education or below-level learners. Reading comprehension questions are not all higher order thinking. Reflection questions encourage independent thinking - great for discussion. Roughly 7-8th grade level.
